EUSART ASYNCHRONOUS 
RECEIVER
The receiver block diagram is shown in 
The data is received on the RC7/RX/DT/SDO pin and
drives the data recovery block. The data recovery block
is actually a high-speed shifter operating at x16 times
the baud rate, whereas the main receive serial shifter
operates at the bit rate or at F
OSC
. This mode would
typically be used in RS-232 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception:
1.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2.
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
bit, SYNC, and setting bit, SPEN.
3.
If interrupts are desired, set enable bit, RCIE.
4.
If 9-bit reception is desired, set bit, RX9.
5.
Enable the reception by setting bit, CREN.
6.
Flag bit, RCIF, will be set when reception is com-
plete and an interrupt will be generated if enable
bit, RCIE, was set.
7.
Read the RCSTA register to get the 9th bit (if
enabled) and determine if any error occurred
during reception.
8.
Read the 8-bit received data by reading the
RCREG register.
9.
If any error occurred, clear the error by clearing
enable bit, CREN.
10. If using interrupts, ensure that the GIE and PEIE
bits in the INTCON register (INTCON<7:6>) are
set.
20.3.3
SETTING UP 9-BIT MODE WITH 
ADDRESS DETECT
This mode would typically be used in RS-485 systems.
To set up an Asynchronous Reception with Address
Detect Enable: 
1.
Initialize the SPBRGH:SPBRG registers for the
appropriate baud rate. Set or clear the BRGH
and BRG16 bits, as required, to achieve the
desired baud rate.
2.
Enable the asynchronous serial port by clearing
the SYNC bit and setting the SPEN bit.
3.
If interrupts are required, set the RCEN bit and
select the desired priority level with the RCIP bit.
4.
Set the RX9 bit to enable 9-bit reception. 
5.
Set the ADDEN bit to enable address detect. 
6.
Enable reception by setting the CREN bit.
7.
The RCIF bit will be set when reception is com-
plete. The interrupt will be Acknowledged if the
RCIE and GIE bits are set.
8.
Read the RCSTA register to determine if any
error occurred during reception, as well as read
bit 9 of data (if applicable).
9.
Read RCREG to determine if the device is being
addressed.
10. If any error occurred, clear the CREN bit. 
11. If the device has been addressed, clear the
ADDEN bit to allow all received data into the
receive buffer and interrupt the CPU.
